Now in its 13th year, the Africa Business Summit is firmly established as a leading forum in Europe for engaged discussion on doing business in Africa.
Each year it brings together 300 delegates with an active interest in Africa, providing an excellent opportunity to network with like-minded professionals, including alumni and students of London Business School.
This year's theme is ‘Beyond the Hype: The Not-for-Tourists Guide to Investing in Africa’. The 2014 Summit will take place against a backdrop of hot-button issues, from the infrastructure crisis which can no longer be ignored, to the acute demand for power to support growth, ensuring that growth is more inclusive, facilitating access to capital for entrepreneurs, an accelerating pace of innovation in tech and telecoms, a burgeoning middle class, a call for accountable leadership, regional integration, and achieving better health and education outcomes. Further, 2014 marks two decades of democracy in South Africa.
In keeping with the London Business School tradition of substantive thought leadership, this year’s Africa Business Summit will offer participants an understanding of how these dynamics affect entrepreneurs, companies and investors in Africa, and an opportunity to gain practical insights from those with significant experience of doing business in the region.
The event features a fantastic line up of distinguished Keynote Speakers from North, South, East and West Africa, including:
The Summit will also feature a host of prominent panellists covering Africa from Swiss Re, GlaxoSmithKline, The Carlyle Group, M-Pesa, Maersk, Microsoft, CDC Group, KPMG, Abraaj, IBM, African Infrastructure Investment Managers, and many more. Panel topics include Private Equity, Healthcare, Infrastructure, Creative Industries, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, and Leadership.
